Tarangire is a popular day trip for those following a standard northern safari itinerary, but its baobab dotted the landscape and numerous dry riverbeds are worth much more time. During the dry season (August to October) Tarangire has one of the highest concentrations of wildlife in Tanzania. It’s an excellent spot for those who love watching elephants, zebra, giraffe, impala, and wildebeest.

Tarangire is a good place to enjoy walking safaris and an excellent birding destination. Be prepared to swat tsetse flies here, at certain times of the year they can get annoying.

Accommodations in Tarangire include lodges, campsites, and luxury tented camps.
